Chelmsley Wood history
Chelmsley Wood was built by Birmingham City Council in the late 1960s and early 70s on ancient woodland, once part of the Forest of Arden. Permission for the construction of the overspill estate was granted by Richard Crossman as Minister of Housing and Local Government. With adjoining neighbourhoods of Fordbridge and Smith’s Wood it became part of Metropolitan Borough of Solihull in 1974.
“The Wood”
Land was compulsorily purchased and construction of the 15,590 dwellings was begun in 1965 and completed in 1970 . Birmingham City Council retained control of their houses until they were officially transferred to Solihull MBC on 29 September 1980 .
